in_o the_o exercise_n of_o two_o of_o the_o sense_n viz._n of_o sight_n and_o feel_v although_o you_o say_v in_o your_o 5_o aphorism_n they_o can_v see_v but_o feel_v the_o 29_o chapter_n of_o the_o

1_o john_n 1.8.10_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v not_o sin_v we_o make_v he_o a_o liar_n and_o

do_v in_o all_o thing_n as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o seven_o we_o shall_v sell_v to_o no_o man_n justice_n or_o right_n so_o that_o covetousness_n which_o by_o the_o reverend_a apostle_n and_o
